The Bassoon BBoard

So I'm checking the tuning on my bassoon and most of the notes in the mid-range are sharp. The stock (no name) bocal I'm using in stamped "1." I get a Fox #2 bocal, which should be longer, right? So it would lower my pitches, right? Well, it didn't--it made them sharper! I compared the two bocals, and the #2 is shorter than the #1!
How could this be? My teacher said something about Fox bocals being "one number off," but wasn't sure. Anybody know anything about this? Thanks.
